KINDRED THE EMBRACED AWARD

Paradise Hotel

If we had a friend who worked for Time Out, we know what she would write as our lead:

This show makes about as much sense as Eric Benet cheating on flawless beauty Halle Barry. But it's so much fun - who cares?

Well, girls who write for Time Out can be right occasionally. (Not to self: check dictionary for word less strong than occasionally.)

So why was Paradise Hotel so bizarrely satisfying? Sure, we were drawn to the fact it wasn't weighed down by that silly thing known as logic. But we think the main reason we found it so oddly pleasurable was the riveting collection of participants Just-A-Little-Too -Insane-For-Blind Date.
